High NK cells - is there always a reason?

My_Miracle_Is_Here profile image

I’d never heard of infertility because of high NK cells before, so I’ve been doing some reading online. I understand that we all have these as part of our immune system.

But my question is, can you naturally have a high number for no reason. Or do you need to have an underlying medical issue that causes the body to produce more of these NK cells?

I believe they are raised due to inflammation I also think the nk cells test is a big money making part of the industry. Your right we all have them and if their raised then I believe the issue which is more than likely something to do with inflammation will be causing them to be raised so if I had raised nk cells I would work on reducing the inflammation in my body. As the nk cells are raised for a reason.I have endo I know that we have a lot of inflammation in our bodies if I stick to an anti inflammatory diet I feel a difference in how I work feel and function. Although I would speak to your gp and do your own research. It's just my personal opinion. 💗🤗😘 I personally don't think they can be raised without excess inflammation or some condition we may not know about xx

Thanks, you’ve confirmed what I thought. I don’t think I have high NK cells, I just read about them being related to implantation failure, so started looking into it more. I’ll ask my consultant at my next review about them if this cycle is also unsuccessful. xx
